Yes

A brief description of the central sustainability website that consolidates information about the institution's sustainability efforts:

Arizona State University has two websites that consolidate information about our sustainability efforts. The first, http://sustainability.asu.edu/, is the website for the Global Institute of Sustainability, which is the hub of the University’s sustainability initiatives, advancing research, education, and business practices for an urbanizing world. The second, http://schoolofsustainability.asu.edu/, is the website for the nation's first School of Sustainability, which offers transdisciplinary degree programs to create practical solutions for environmental, economic, and social challenges.

While research, education, and outreach are pillars of the University's sustainability efforts, perhaps the most relevant (to this question) section of our website is http://sustainability.asu.edu/practice/index.php. This section, called "Sustainability in Practice," highlights our institutional commitment and enumerates our many actions in the areas of energy conservation, renewable energy, recycling and waste, transportation, food services, water conservation, buildings, grounds, services and maintenance, purchasing and policy, and recognition and awards.
